Hey Jody,

I’ve updated the RFC page to reflect the changes related to your review 
comments. I’ve fixed some of the UI bits, some of the big functional bits are 
still there. Will need to make time for those.

Thanks,
Naz Chan

Subject: Re: [udig-devel] DocumentView RFC (Stage 3) - view feedback

Comments inline.

TLDR: A few small functionality issues added to the RFC 
(http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/UDIG/Document+View) for later, 
pull request accepted.

[Naz] Updated layout of view contents.
Thanks, that mostly did the trick.

- Remove the "header" (we only use that header for forms). See InfoView below.

[Naz] Removed header
Nice clean look.

- It is a bit tricky to select a feature, and then open DocumentView, often it 
only figures things out when I switch focus to the Document view directly. It 
should be listening as long as it is visible on screen.

[Naz] Im not sure what’s happening here, the view is listening to the workbench 
selection so it should update every time except when you select the same 
resource.
We may have to debug that one later, added as a task to the clean up section. 
We may need to be a bit more aggressive hunting down the current map, rather 
then only checking the workbench selection.

- The "Label" and "Description" text fields are cut off for some reason, and 
the dialog is not resizable.

[Naz] Not having this in my machine, can you give specific steps?
Will mark this down for later, the specific step is "Edit…"

- OK button should be "Attach" when creating this for the first time - checking 
the RFC shows it as "Add" so I am corrected
Added as a task for later.

- Save As should default to the correct "filename"? Usually people just want to 
choose a directory … same deal for filename extension should be maintained if 
not provided by user.

[Naz] Added default filename and adding of extension when the user does not 
specify any
Default filename ends up being "alternate-Copy.sld"? is that expected...

- files that are added as attachments are still editable, should be able to use 
file setReadOnly to fix this. Attached files can be opened for review, but need 
to be saved out using Save As in order to be edited.

[Naz] Updated to set files as read-only
Thanks that helps.

[Naz] Updated functionality of layer documents to the ff:

-          They are now attachments instead of the original sidecar file design

-          Files will be copied to 
“/Volumes/Fiore/jody/Data/hotlink/australia.documents” in your sample above

-          Updated “Add...” to “Attach...” to align with this change
I see that, sounds okay. We have the corner case of an add a web link being 
treated as an attachment but I think that still makes sense.

To sum-up the current handlings:

-          Layer Docs – Done as attachments (copied)

-          Feature Docs - Done as attachments (copied)

-          Feature Hotlinks – Done as sidecar (linked)
Nice
